The senior girls Powder Puff football team took on the junior girls’ team at the annual Powder Puff football game on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The senior girls won with a 14-7 victory in triple overtime.
Senior wide receiver McKenzie Schmitt was excited about the win.
“I felt awesome,” Schmitt said. “I’m really proud [of the team] and I feel pretty successful.”
Senior offensive lineman Michaela Jamison shares similar feelings.
“I was pretty excited,” Jamison said. “[Beating the juniors] was harder than I thought; they were tough.”
Both teams coordinated practices beforehand, but junior wide receiver Gabby Fangman felt that the practices were more for fun.
“Honestly, [practices] were kind of a joke,” Fangman said. “We tried to figure out plays and run routes. The practices did prepare us, but I think we should have practiced harder and been more focused.”
Fangman was content with the results of the game, even though the juniors lost.
“It was a good game,” Fangman said. “It was fun to play in. I expected the juniors to lose anyways, but I didn’t expect it to be that close. There was so much pressure and it was really intense.”
